Online Counselling for Ontario

I believe that every person and every relationship is sacred. As a psychotherapist with a background in spiritual care, I aspire to help individuals see the sacred light within themselves. I do not listen to my clients to “fix,” to respond, or to debate with them; rather, I listen to provide presence, connection, and support on their respective journeys.

Do you consider yourself a religious or spiritual person but are finding that it is not enough to help you out of your pain? Are you struggling to communicate in your relationship? Are you trying to decide if your relationship is worth saving or not? Have you recently suffered a loss and are having a hard time moving on? Do you feel guilt when you think about moving on in your life without your loved one? Are you self-medicating with drugs or alcohol to numb your pain? Are you gambling or watching too much porn and can't find a way to stop? Spiritual psychotherapy can help you lessen feelings of anxiety in your life. Reach out now.

Sometimes all we need is a little guidance to help us combat darkness, move past hurdles, and restore our sense of 'self'. My goal as your therapist is to help you heal, while equipping you with skills that allow you to take on life's challenges, such as: bolstering communication, emotional regulation, and self-empowerment. We can work together to free your world from unwanted guests like anxiety and depression, while learning ways to invite self-love. In order to make transformative changes to your life, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including: CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Behavioural Skills Training, and more!

Accepting NEW patients. Are you or your child feeling: overwhelmed, stuck, or on edge? Experiencing mood swings, flashbacks or urges? Having trouble sleeping, managing emotions or getting through the day? Are you having communication or trust issues in your relationship? You are NOT alone & we CAN help. We have helped hundreds of people THRIVE in their life & we look forward to helping you too! Our professional, compassionate & experienced therapists have immediate openings for SAME day & NEXT day appointments for individual, couples & family therapy to children (5+), youth and adults.

As human we are Spirit beings with a Mind and Body. creating a balance between these three elements is essential to live a healthier life. Issues like depression, anxiety, or compulsive thought and behaviors needs a treatment plan that includes these three elements. We are also governed by our cultural values and norms, so providing culturally and religiously sensitive therapy is very important especially with interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts.

We're all in this together. We all need someone to talk to, to confide in. We are social beings and connection is a vital element of healthy living. We can talk. Perhaps the big questions in life ("Why am I here?", "What's the point?", "What now?") might be keeping you up at night, or perhaps stress with relationships, work, or family feels overwhelming. The world can be a lot sometimes, it can all feel overwhelming, but you are resilient. Together, we can grow, adapt and learn to navigate all of this. I offer both in-person and online-therapy and have some spots left!

Thank you for reviewing my profile. I am currently accepting clients who are facing the challenges of mental health diagnoses and substance misuse. I provide evidence-based, specialized approaches to supporting people experiencing complex PTSD, anxiety, depression and other integrative challenges. If your goals include working with an experienced therapist to grow, expand, and gain the skills necessary to achieve your wellness, I will provide you effective support. My services are geared to assist the general public, as well as First Nations, and culturally diverse communities seeking support for healing, recovery and wellness.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

Anxiety is a mode of being, our call for growth. We find ourselves in a world and relate to our surroundings through desire and care. Within the frame of our cultural conditioning, we tend to invest in people and things that foster attachments. Out of these attachments and the desire to pursue the sort of happiness that we are conditioned to thrive for emerges a sense of dependency that often deprives us of the opportunity to actualize our true potentials.

Allow me to be fellow travellers in your life journey and to be your wellness and psychological flexibility coach. You CAN overcome life’s challenges and become more Open, Aware, and Engaged in Growth opportunities by putting wise effort and committed action.
